In: Mechanical Engineering
Pressurized water (pin= 10 bar, Tin= 110°C) enters the bottom of
an L= 10-m-long vertical tube of diameter D= 88 mm at a mass flow
rate of m˙= 1 kg/s. The tube is located inside a combustion
chamber, resulting in heat transfer to the tube. Superheated steam
exits the top of the tube at Pout= 7 bar, Tout= 600°C. Determine
the change in the rate at which the following quantities enter and
exit the tube: (1) the combined thermal and flow work, (2) the
mechanical energy, and (3) the total energy of the water. Also, (4)
determine the heat transfer rate, q.
Hint: Relevant properties may be obtained from a thermodynamics

b) What is the outlet velocity, in m/s?
c) What is the change in specific enthalpy from inlet to outlet, in kJ/kg?
d) Solve for the rate of change in the combined thermal and flow work energy from inlet to outlet, in MW.
e) Solve for the rate of change in mechanical energy from inlet to outlet, in MW.
f) What is the total heat transfer rate from the pipe, in MW?
